VOR ZEM ZE WOR IZ OVER

[68 SQUADRON]

HI all this will be my first build on here but hopefully not my last.

iv always got half a dozen models n figures on the go at once. (26 at the moment actually) so il try not to flood the forum with stuff. in the meantime here is one i started a couple of weeks ago that i will complete on here over the next month hopefully.

firtsly these ara some german prisoners iv converted from Master Box set3517 German captives. there are 2 boxes worth but i ditched the russians so just the crouts here.

The idea came from a picture i have in a book ov german POWs following a carrier while a jeep with monty in drives past

This carrier iv had on the go for a few years but iv finally decided to finish it. the brits are from Verlinden n are almost finished now

im looking for a driver figure for the carrier as over the years friends have begged all mine away. sods law ah

iv also got 3 brits to go in n on the carrier from the MINIART british tank riders (nw europe) set 35118.

thats all for now but as arnie as so fond of saying "IL BE BACK"

Now the carrier has a bit of colour and decals (the pics a bit better but still a little dark im afraid, but im working on it)

Decals need a bit of chipping n weathering to blend in better n then i can start the weathering,

some more stowage inside to do aswell once if finished working on the figures for in the back. hopefully should have more pics after wknd (better lit ones)

WELL its been a productive wknd. as you will see from the pics iv finished most of the painting of the german figures, still weathering n highlighting to be done but im happy wit them so far.

The carriers had a few washes to blend the decals in n tone the flat surfaces down. the 2 grey figures on the carrier are ready for painting now (the resin heads still need a be of work befor i fit them). these are the miniart figures i mentioned earlier.

i also took advantage of the nice weather to do my pics outside. the should give you a better idea of the final composition of the diorame too.

thats all for now. see you next time
